US Humans Back in Space
I don't want to be the "another video guy," but this (short) double landing from 2018 has some entertainment value:

US Humans Back in Space
The look, feel and sound of the Vette makes this = no-contest.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
My conclusion is that I will not worry at all when I am outdoors. Please stop the madness (outdoor madness).

Outdoors? WSJ article, sheds some light (maybe). Should You Wear a Mask When Exercising Outdoors?

Kim Jong-un Assassinated?!?
Doesn't he have a semi-hot, but angry looking sister (one of the siblings who wasn't assassinated)? She could be ready to rock and roll!

F1 Thread
There is https://f1tv.formula1.com/ . This is the official Formula one outlet, and you can watch past races, and other features in hi-def. Most of the commentary from the races is from SKY Sports, so not too bad. I think the plans start at $29.99/year There is the unreliable bit-torrent too.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
This, coupled with the fact that American opinion has now settled into its usual 50/50 ratio (OMG, I'm gonna die vs. This is bullsh*t, let's get back to work). So it's the BAU two-sided fight.

I think the invoice to the taxpayer will likely be spread out over several years tax returns.

Popups blocking "submit reply" button
Supposedly, AdBlock Plus allows one to block ads and pop-ups which make it through the filter. I think it's called "block element," accessed from the menu at the top.

Taxes, the Deficit/Debt, and the Fiscal Cliff
Please do, because I will be there to Buy, buy, buy. Another axiom to use today... What goes down, must go up (stocks), (Oh, and does not necessarily apply to your airframe, I'm told it's all energy management)

B-21 Raider
Don't be too quick to dismiss "what's new" in this airframe, as I think we'll see some surprises once everything is "out." Just a guess.

Deaths Surpass 200, and State Department Urges Against Travel to China
Surprised they didn't just go back to KOSC, plenty of isolation there.

The Iran thread
This operation (soliemani big boom) and subsequent events (not including the B738) went exactly according to plan. We sent a message, they got the message. We let them p*ss a little, and now we're back to where we were, except that Iran's proxy interference may be reduced somewhat next time. Done, period - end. (Although, I bet no one counted on all of the idiots coming out of the woodwork, to say how mean we were in taking this guy out).

NFL Ratings are Way Down
"Kaepernick's agent did not immediately respond to Fox News' request." I bet. How do you respond to stupid by your client? (Don't answer that). Colin is now in his own little world, perhaps without the ability to play again, and now a confirmed fool. Nike - great choice of spokesperson. //end rant

The Iran thread
Iran's proxy forces are trouble enough, but to have their own leadership (dressed as civilians), in another state, and stirring up sh*t - is just too much. I don't want us to be the next target in this tit-for-tat thing, but we seem prepared to handle the next step? Questions: Are we prepared to defend ourselves in the region? Options after the next attack (whatever that is)?

Best Earplug
Yes! And what's the delivery time? I mean for the big box of yellow squishy plugs? Do they come in different colors (that's what she said)? Can they be re-used, or better yet, can they be recycled - thereby saving the planet (That's what Greta said)? Heavy stuff, I know.

Pentagon implements 'operational pause' on training of foreign students after Pensacola shooting "Deputy Secretary of Defense David L. Norquist said in a memo Tuesday he was directing "immediately steps to strengthen personnel vetting for" international military students training inside the United States."
